Gaming Legend Set For Leipzig GC Appearance

London, 16th August 2007 - Commodore Gaming™ is rolling back the years as it looks to make its presence felt at this year’s Leipzig Games Convention.

Not only will Commodore be showing off its latest PC gaming rigs, it’s paying homage to its roots with a 25th anniversary celebration of all things Commodore 64.

All Leipzigers are invited to visit the veritable time machine of a stand to rediscover a key part of gaming’s history and its future. Planned fun and games includes celebrating the 25th anniversary of the C64 with a special awards show and a very special party on the 24th for media and C64 diehards and hall of famers.

Digitale Kultur will be running gaming competitions and demonstrating on the stand where it will be showing off some old skool 8-bit art and some of the more bizarre C64 mods out there. Once visitors have been back in time they will also have the opportunity to take a step back to the future by road testing Commodore’s new range of gaming PCs.

There will also some exciting Commodore Gaming announcements made during the show…
